4 ★ It works for me. I was connected to my LAN chat, with openfire, then to another iphone app using xmppchat. Down side...pictures dont show on the chat. But it will be downloaded for you to be viewed. Hoping to see this improve in thr future releases thanks

2 ★ Unfortunately I can't say my experience with using Xabber is great. I, too, have a Samsung phone (A7 2017) and have similar issues: lags and freezes. On top of that my messages are duplicated in conferences which is also annoying. I couldn't find an option to turn off this behaviour so I suppose it's a bug. The approach 'Shove your Samsung phone up your arse' isn't what I would call a nice support considering the popularity of Samsung phones. Samsung dominates the phone market.

1 ★ Crashes repeatedly after loading and connecting. OK. Worked fine on Samsung S7. Loaded on Pixel 3, logged into my usual server and it crashes immediately after loading and connecting. Occasionally it will stay up and seems to work fine for a while. Then it will crash and repeated attempts to reload are unsuccessful. I have enabled everything possible in the settings. I have deleted and re-installed. I have cleared the cache. I have sent multiple reports after it crashes to where ever those reports go.

1 ★ [EDIT: Take a look at this developer's response below, which is unprofessional, a personal attack, and a violation of Google's official comment posting policy. It also makes a false claim about the ability to contact support via email, which is not possible from the app or web client. I will be reporting this to Google.] The app worked for one day and no longer receives messages or only receives and delivers them after 30 minutes or more. I've rebooted and checked all settings and configuration, but the problems persist. The app and the web version also don't show the correct online status for users, and there's no ability to report issues to support. I'll have to find another alternative because Xabber is unusable.

1 ★ Could not get the persistent icon to stay on with Samsung S8. Contacted "support" and was told that I had it set up right, and he proceeded to trash Samsung. Ненахов Андрей sent me the following: "well then, we have no idea why you don't have an icon. Most likely it is because you use a device manufactured by the by far the worst smartphone maker ever, Samsung. Ask them why their bastardized fork of Android does not work like it should. I'm sorry about that, but we've taught ourselves never to buy Samsung's devices again, ever, so we can't test it on this device and see what exactly they broke." Poor programmers, blame the operating system and the hardware for their obvious lack of prowess!

5 ★ Works great. Upgrade to a new phone this week. Now every time my account reconnect to the server, I get a notification sound several times. It is realy annoying. I tried to find a setting to disable a notification on connecting to the server, but I can't find any. Can you please help me? I just installed the 15 March update. Nothing have changed. Whenever my phone reconnect to my account on the server, Xabber keep on playing the notification sound while connecting. It is very anoying.

5 ★ hi guys, I love this app, but say, until say 1-2 months ago, I used google accounts and all worked fine to and fro hangouts - however i stopped using it as friends were more online on the abomination fsocial media :-D. i had to factory reset my phone a week ago, and it seems the app is newer. however on testing I can receive but not send(x sign on my msgs). is there any way back for me e.g. install a prev. version? UPDATE: 2.4.1 works now, pls check this when you get the chance. thanks a bunch!

5 ★ Very nice XMPP app! Support for multiple accounts, nice user interface, support for sending files, thumbnails for received image files, status information about chat partner, and no ads! (Just a banner at the top of the first screen that sometimes asks for donations, which is totally ok for a free app.) The support I got when I opened a bug report was also good, and I'm a fan of the GNU GPL license for software freedom. Definitely the best XMPP app for Android if you ask me.

5 ★ Very good. Best support for OTR on Android. Connects quickly to my own server, faster that Conversations. Images are always shown unlike Conversations (they are represented by links that is ugly if sent from many clients other than Conversations). Suggested improvements: Delete the http link under images or use a one-line abbreviation. For images/files received through 'http upload' add option to share the file itself, along with 'copy link'. Otion to edit the last message as in Conversations.

3 ★ I love this app and the security it provides is less than stellar. I am trying to start encryption in chat room, then the app crashes. I will write an email to the developer and hopefully see if this issue can be resolved. If so, I will revisit this review.

2 ★ It used to work great, but now it constantly lags like crazy on a Samsung S9+. Has trouble connecting and working without constantly freezing up and going very very slow. More annoying than you could imagine. Hopefully it's fixed soon because I like this app.

5 ★ revision to my 1 star review. it was definitely an issue on my server's end. took a long time to get things working correctly. i recommend anyone having issues look up a modern guide on how to set up a server; it'll save you a lot of headache. great app.

5 ★ Great app!! One small issue though: you cannot set a custom notification sound. It will always take the default from phone. Maybe you can fix this in future release. Thanks!

1 ★ There are better, more secure XMPP clients out there with greater stability, more support docs, and less battery drain. *edit: Devs seem to take reviews personally. If only they too were open-sourced. Perhaps then their insecurities could be fixed. ;) *edit: mmhmm :)

3 ★ Unable to send media and documents. Please kindly advise.
